The game between the University of Florida, national runner-up to Oklahoma at the Women’s College World Series in June, and Florida State, who reached the super regionals in 2017, at Plantation’s Central Park was postponed till Sunday morning.

Saturday morning rain saturated the field and, despite dry and windy conditions in the afternoon, it wasn’t enough to allow for a safe surface.

The game is now scheduled for 10 a.m. The Gators will also play FIU at 2 p.m. at Central Park.

The UF-FSU game is an encore matchup from last October during the Rising Stars softball showcase when the Seminoles grabbed a 3-0 lead and hung on to win 3-2 in front of an overflow crowd.

Florida—a two-time national champion—went on to play host Oklahoma in the WCWS best-of-three championship series in Oklahoma City, losing in two — including once in a series-opening 17-inning marathon where the Gators rallied from deficits in the seventh and 12th innings before succumbing to the Sooners.

The Gators are led by junior right-handed fireballing pitcher Kelly Barnhill, a national team member who won the national player of the year award in 2017.There are a number of players from South Florida on the teams’ rosters, led by FSU’s top two pitchers, Meghan King and Kylee Hanson.

King, a redshirt junior, is a Parkland resident who led St. Thomas Aquinas to state championships in 2013 and 2014. In Tallahassee, King earned the NFCA national co-pitcher of the week in 2016 after she threw a perfect game against Tulsa.

In high school, she won a 1-0, nine-inning state semifinal game in 2013 and then another 1-0 decision for the state title in 2014 against Harmony High School and its ace Aleshia Ocasio, who is a pitcher and outfielder at UF and is also a teammate of King’s on the Puerto Rico national team.

Hanson, a Jupiter resident who graduated from Jupiter High, starred at Florida Atlantic University from 2014-17, earning All-America status after the 2016 season. Hanson, who redshirted in 2017, transferred to FSU for her final season.

Hanson was the Sun Sentinel’s large-school player of the year in Palm Beach County in 2012, while King took home the same honor in Broward in 2014.

Other South Florida high school standouts on the rosters include the Gators’ Alex Voss (Coral Springs High School) and FSU’s Carsyn Gordon (Miami Coral Reef) and Deja Bush (Flanagan).

Gordon also is a member of the Puerto Rico national team.

The game will start at 7 p.m. on Field 2 at Central Park, located at 9151 NW 2nd Street.
